Title: Recrutement progressif de tissu musculaire/nerveux excitable par utilisation de parametres de stimulation electrique haut debit
Inventor: OVERSTREET EDWARD H

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système neurostimulateur (170) qui stimule un tissu musculaire ou nerveux excitable par l'intermédiaire de multiples électrodes  (E1, E2, ... En) assez rapidement pour induire une décharge neurale stochastique, ce qui permet de restaurer une activité neurale « spontanée ». Le type de stimulation produite par le neurostimulateur implique l'utilisation d'un signal de stimulation pulsatile haut débit, par exemple supérieur à environ 2000 Hz, produit par un générateur d'impulsions haut débit (172). Le flux d'impulsions produit par ce générateur d'impulsions haut débit est modulé en amplitude dans un circuit pilote de sortie (176) à l'aide d'informations de commande fournies par un élément de commande de modulation (178). Une telle modulation pulsatile modulée en amplitude exploite les subtiles différences électrophysiologiques entre des cellules comprenant du tissu excitable, afin de désynchroniser des potentiels d'action au sein de la population de tissu excitable. Une telle désynchronisation induit une distribution plus large des seuils de population et une plus grande plage dynamique électrique, ce qui permet de mieux imiter des caractéristiques de recrutement biologique.

Abstract: It was discovered that a membrane protein dlk (delta-like) is specifically expressed on the surfaces of fetal hepatic cells. We succeeded in purifying undifferentiated hepatic cells including hepatic stem cells to high purify from mouse fetal liver using an antibody to dlk protein. The obtained fetal hepatic cells included hepatic stem cells having bipotency. The present invention provides a marker molecule of hepatic cells, and a method for detecting undifferentiated hepatic cells utilizing this molecule. The present invention also provides a method for separating undifferentiated hepatic cells utilizing this marker molecule, and the undifferentiated hepatic cells separated by this method. By using the method of the present invention, hepatic stem cells may be purified simply to high concentration. The undifferentiated hepatic cells obtained by the present invention may be used for regenerative medicine and artificial liver. They may also be used for analyses of intercellular interactions, and for assay systems and screening systems for investigating drug metabolism as well as for searching drugs and anti-viral agents which control the drug metabolism or differentiation of hepatic cells.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for switching access between mobile networks for a mobile terminal comprising a first and a second radio device capable of communication with a first and a second mobile network, respectively. The second mobile network has priority over the first mobile network. A first connection is authorised and established between the firstradio device and the first mobile network. When it is detected that the mobile terminal moves into a coverage area of the second mobile network, a second connection is authorised and established between the second radio device and the second mobile network based on the authorising made for the first connection with the first mobile network. Both connections can then rely on the authorisation of the first connection.

Abstract: Reciprocal noise cancellation of a patient's mono-frequency tinnitus tone is achieved utilizing an externally generated tone which is subjectively defined by a mono-frequency tinnitus patient to match his/her tinnitus tone in frequency and amplitude. An externally generated sound wave, selectively designated by subjective observations of a patient to match the patient's tinnitus tone is first applied to the tinnitus patient via earphones or a speaker system and then the same externally generated sound wave is sequentially phase shifted through a plurality of angularly shifted sequence steps to shift or slide the external sound wave through at least a 180 degree phase shift of the generated signal as it is applied to the patient to achieve a series of reductions of the patient's tinnitus tone and in one of such shifted steps a reciprocal, canceling relationship with the patient's tinnitus tone. The tinnitus treatment sequence of an externally generated sound wave and then the phase shifted externally generated tone achieve cancellation of the tinnitus tone of the patient as the sequential steps of the generated tone in effect slide across the tinnitus sound wave resulting in cancellation of the tinnitus tone. By replaying the sequential phase shifted segments of the patient treatment process a patient may utilize the previously recorded sequences in a patient self-treatment process.

Abstract: A method and system for maintaining uniformity in a FLIR display. During a one-time initialization procedure, a plurality of dynamic ranges are defined by covering a specific range of bucket fill levels when in a certain gain. To cover all dynamic ranges possible, a plurality of pairs of responsivity equalization (RE) calibrations (each pair producing a RE set of pixel gain corrections) are also accomplished in the same one time initialization period. A plurality of corresponding level equalization (LE) calibrations (each using the appropriate calibrated RE set and producing a LE set of pixel level corrections) for each anticipated dynamic range are made at every power-up initialization. Each of the calibrations is done with respect to a thermal reference source to produce a uniform scene at the desired bucket fill level. An algorithm is employed which forces the two bucket fill points defined during the responsivity calibration to span as far as possible the dynamic range and forces the level equalization bucket fill point to fall within the two bucket fill points of the responsivity calibration. Then, during an operational time period, the scene and optics temperatures are monitored, and if the average bucket fill value exceeds the bucket fill range of the present dynamic range, the presently selected dynamic range is changed to a second dynamic range (gain is changed along with the RE set and LE set). The dynamic ranges are designed to overlap so that a hysteresis effect is achieved. The pre-calibrations and automatic dynamic range switching prevent saturation and create the best uniformity (lowest fix pattern noise) possible while allowing for continuous operation of the FLIR system, thus eliminating the interruption caused by the prior art touch-up calibration procedure.
